Canned cranberry sauce
Homemade cranberry sauce contains 67 calories and the same amount of canned cranberry sauce contains 106 calories and 26g of sugar and fats.

So isn’t it better to make your own sauce at home with controlled ingredients, especially the sugar content to minimize the double effect of calories. Plus your guests will love your creativity of making everything at home.
